Do you know the population & steets of South Florida City? If so, you have come to the right place. The city is located in South Florida, USA. Here is a brief demographic breakdown of the city:

The city of Miami was established in 1835, but was not a center of the Civil Rights Movement until it was hit by Hurricane Andrew. The hurricane resulted in three hundred and seventy-three deaths and left 25,000 to 50,000 people homeless in Miami. The hurricane also ushered in the Great Depression, with over 16000 people unemployed. Nevertheless, by the end of the 20th century, Miami had a population of nearly a quarter million.

In 1886, a wealthy Cleveland woman bought 640 acres of land in the Miami area. Her father had been growing citrus, so she inherited the property. She moved to South Florida after her husband died. Eventually, she and her children had to move to a healthier climate. She even tried to convince Henry Flagler to extend his rail line southward. But Flagler turned down the idea.

As of 2000, Miami's population consisted of 34.1 percent Cubans. The percentages of Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Dominican people were also significant. In 2004, the city had the highest percentage of foreign born residents. While it does not have an extensive subway system, it still has many streets lined with luxurious condos and upscale restaurants. There is also a large cosmopolitan area in Coconut Grove, which is home to many historic homes.
